-kooks or lg longtubes with high flow cats and x pipe
-vararam
-Borla or corsa exhaust
-160 thermo
-pulleys

I have LG pro long tube headers, intake, and tune....and put down 380 to the wheels

on my 02 I had a bpp vortex rammer, lg pro long tubes, 160tstat, borla stinger (2tip), and a tune and put down 388 to the wheels.

As for dyno numbers, my 02 with a Corsa Competition Ti catback and a tune dynoed at 367/361 with a conservative street tune.

I read one of your other posts about coming from the F-body world. I went from a 5.7 GTO and Camaros to my 02Z. Worry about getting the car first and the mods may come later. a stock 405h.p. Z feels like a 500h.p. Camaro most of the time. Don't get yourself wrapped around the "I must get every bolt-on" mentality of the F-Body. The Z is a different beast all together. Camaros/Mustangs/etc. are bolt on dyno racer wonders where as the Z06 is a world class all around factory built road (not street) race car. You can certainly bolt on some horsepower, but I think that most here would agree that 99.9% of the drivers out there (including me) can't even use the stock power to it's full potential. Just my $.02

Got the dyno sheet right in front of me.

373.53 rwhp and 359.16 rw torque


as far as i knew when i bought the car 6 months ago it had never been dyno'd or tuned... but who knows.

I'll bid about 385 or so at the wheels, according to what I had done that was similiar before the Maggie and other goodies got installed

Vararam, LG Pro, with tune - 383RWHP 372RWTQ..... Oh, and Adam's Polish, helps with the drag on the dyno.

meldog21

LG pro headers, Stinger air filter, and a tune, 380/380. Remember that all dynos read a little different. These multiple responses in your post do give you an idea of the typical range of gains.

You'll need cams to make the 400 mark.

aris

you only need 1

Bought my 03 Z new in Dec of 02. First yr I had it I installed the items mentioned in my profile. Did all the work myself in my garage. Had it Mustang Dyno'd & tuned right after the perf. mods. It either dyno'd @ 405 or 406 H.P. @ rear wheels. They said @ the shop that a strong LS6 usually might see 385. Took it to the strip and have ran it about 24 times, over the years. Tweaked out a 11.9 w/Drag Radials. Didn't run it at all last year. Bob.

I think you need more than that to break 400. Some guys claim to have done it with the bolt-ons you list, but must seem to end up in the 380-390 range with those mods - mine included.

What mph r u getting?

Ryan L

That dyno's calibration is waaaay off since you will be closer to 350rwhp at best on a Mustang dyno. What MPH are you trapping? According to your dyno, you should be in the 120mph range... riiiiiight.

CHIWS6

I just got it tune a month ago so i dont know what it will trap but i did take it the track in november and pull a best of 117 without the corsa exhaust and stock tune

Ryan L

117 is still really good, but 405rwhp is off. I pulled 375rwhp on a Dynojet and ended up with 116 mph.

CHIWS6

i guess i'll find out once i take it to the track lol
